Sunday Sweets For Mom
May 10, 2009 Happy Mother's Day, Moms and other persons of non-maternal persuasion!
Here's a little cuteness for ya:
John found this adorableness on the Love-A-Cupcake blog. He also wants to know if this counts as calling your Mom a cow. (I told him it doesn't.)Of course Mother's Day is really all about the flowers, though:
It's amazing how realistic gumpaste flowers can be - that lily is truly a work of art. I don't know who made this simple beauty, though, so let me know if you do.Here are some sweet flower pot cakes by Sugar Buzz Girl:
That overlapping texture is pretty nifty, too.And lastly, I'm really digging this cake from Freed's Bakery:
Get it? "Digging?"Hey, these aren't your garden-variety puns, folks. Leave them to me, so I can weed out the pansies. I would say I'm a loose pistol with a rosy disposition, but frankly that blooming lie lacks stamina.
(Whoever caught "lie lacks" scores bonus points.)

Dontcha mean loose pistil? Happy Momma's Day!
Happy Mother's Day to Jen's Mom. You outdid yourself, lady.
magnificent cakes! Thanks for posting these little beauties.
Alix,
I totally agree.
And thanks for being such an awesome reader and commenter.

Wow....those are amazing! Thanks! And happy mom day to the moms in your life!
The garden picket fence cake is fantastic! Happy Mother's Day to all the you moms!
WV: hunke - I'll have another big hunke of that cake right there.
I thought that lily was real at first, until I read your comment about it being made of gum paste. Amazing!
Beautiful cakes!
wv: mychea - I hope mychea drin will give me some flowers that look as nice.
Might be stretching it, but maybe the blooming lie lacks stamen-a?
I love the flower pot cakes. I am filing that away with my Girl Scout ideas for next year. The kiddos will probably love to make them. So much more fun than the Dirt desert.
AAWWW! Cows, so cute.
I love the flower pot cakes but think I'd gag at the worm.
Your puns crack me up.
Hey Molly,
That's what we were going for so I'm glad you got it.
Puns are hard.

That stargazer lily cake is WOW! That is an amazing work of art. I always love Sunday Sweets, and these are all amazing.
Happy Mother's Day! Beautiful sunday sweets!
And I'm with Molly on Stamen-a :)
That Jen sure is a pistil - she's really blossomed. :D

(wv - tspuri - "Add one tspuri of vanilla to the cake batter...."
These are just beautiful! Realistic flowers always blow me away, that lily is amazing!
Happy Mother's Day!!
I loved the cow one. It would be so appropriate for me and my mom because forever now I've called her my "Moo" instead of my mom. I sent the link to her and she loved it.
They're gorgeous! Happy Mother's Day... how much you think one of these beauties would run, cost-wise? And is there time to order one by this evening? ;)
I want... no, I NEED the first one!!!! COWS!!! On a cake!!!
*sigh*
Your amazing! I just wanted to say that you bring a smile to my face every day.
Love the lily one...hope you find the baker, as they richly deserve recognition. It would be a fantastic wedding cake.

P.S. While this site is wonderful in both concept and execution, I must admit that I really love Sunday Sweets. What a great idea! It's a good way to recover from the "Desiccated Salmon-Colored Incest Cake" and CCC scarfs. Sunday Sweets is like the perfect gumpaste flower to the rest of this wonderful site. Thanks!
I love these cakes!!! Nice post Jen!
Cow one is adorable. :D
"but frankly that blooming lie lacks stamina."
Aww, and here I was expecting that last one to be "stamen-a"
"Leaf" it to Jen & John to come up with such a "tree"-bute to moms everywhere. You rock! BTW, do your moms live in "Flora"-da? Thanks again for the groans and giggles!
Beautiful cakes!
Happy Mother's Day to all the Mommies!!!

I'm glad to see you rose to the occasion and avoided the stigma of being unable to make flower related puns. In fact, I'd go so far aster say you did it with style
I would love to wrong, but is the second cake missing an apostrophe? Happy Mothers Day?
Oh, so maybe Friday's "Anther word for love" cake was just going for a flower pun...
Bonus points for meeeee!!!
BTW, my mom thoroughly enjoyed her "My eyes crye to see you" Mother's Day card this morning :D
Jen wins web poll 'n
shares the best bought-any
bud should love these sweets!
Those look amazing!
Beautiful. Are you sure that's not a real lily? We put real stargazer lilies on our wedding cake.
Thanks for the lovely Sunday Seets.
Its good to see that some people appreciate their mothers.
Sorry, having a pity party today.
Alex
Actually, the plural of "stamen" is "stamina" - good work, Cakewrecks! Word nerds everywhere appreciate your puns.
That stargazer lily cannot be paste! That is truly loverly!
lilacs ; )
Are the flower pots cake too? Those are my favorites!
That pistol/stamen combo really was a knockout.
Loving the cow cake!! My best friend used to call my Mom "Moo"...dunno why, but whatev.
HER mother used to make a basket cake with flowers "in" it. She sure could pipe a mean basket weave pattern I tell ya. I think she used a round cake, and cut a round piece of cardboard then cut it in half to use as the open "lid" of the round basket. Course, she's pipe the basket weave icing deal on the cardboard too, and angle it so it looked like the lid was open. Then, in the open part, she's do her roses and such. Was a beautiful cake and she made oodles of 'em...wish I had a picture so I could send it in. :(
Anywho, gorgeous cakes, as usual. You are sooo punny!!
too pretty to eat!!
I'm the owner of Torte Bella, the shop that made the cake you posted that's covered in flowers, w/ the overlapping fondant pieces covering the cake, just wanted to let everyone know that ALL of those flowers are made out of sugar, by me! Every leaf, every petal of every flower is hand made, and hand airbrushed :) I'm very proud of my work! Happy mothers day to everyone!

They're all beautiful, but the second one loses points for an omitted apostrophe. That lily is a stunner, though!

You mean there are cakes on the site?!? I was too overcome with Jen's comments that I forgot to check out the photos! Friggin' fraggin' funny is what you are!
Ok, nice cakes, no lie... but I'm pretty disturbed by the earthworm in that one pot of flowers. Weird.....
I LOVE Freeds!
As usual, the daily requirement of groaners with cakes.
Happy Mum's Day. :D
I've waited all day for this. Gorgeous...and I always want cake when I visit this blog. No matter how ugly the other cakes may be.
holy crap wv: grampi.*L*
Absolutely gorgeous creations! My son was looking at it with me and asked me to make one like the ones on there. Um, yeah my talent stops at the mix in the box, frosting in the tub type of thing..LOL
So is it "Mother's Day" or "Mothers Day?" Because the cakes today have one of each...Solve this mystery for me!
The first cake resulted in a simultaneous "awww" from my husband and I. Then he said "hehehe if you let your eyes relax it looks like a very old, very naked lady cow" (imagine that said in a backwoods Pennsylvania accent) It took a moment but I got it. Now what has been seen cannot be unseen.
Thanks Pat, another cute thing ruined by your 12 year old boy mentality.
no "stem-ina"?
Happy Mother's Day! Your writing was in full bloom today, I've never seen so many well-planted puns at once! Get it? Well-planted....lol this is too much fun.
Happy mothers day to all moms out there..;D
I love the cake with flower..;D so cute.Thanks for sharing..;D
